Patent CA-2553420-C (CA)
Inventor: MUHL TIMOTHY
IPC: B65G69/28
Filed: 2005-01-03
Granted: 2010-06-08
Abstract: A closed loop reciprocating fluid circuit apparatus (150) for mechanically powered and electromechanically powered dock levelers (100), which may be mounted at a forward edge of a dock leveler to selectively engage the dock leveler during pivotal downward movement of a deck, is provided. The apparatus may include a header (158) extending from a fluid chamber (152) (e.g., a hydraulic cylinder), where the header may selectively engage the deck, within the range of dock leveler heights, including below dock level and above dock level operating positions. The hydraulic cylinder may be vertically oriented and coupled to a fluid accumulation chamber (156), such that vertical movement of the header in response to the deck's downward movement causes fluid displacement into the accumulation chamber. That displacement may be in a horizontally oriented fluid chamber having a piston that reacts to the fluid transfer. Alternatively, that displacement may be into a resilient fluid chamber such as a bladder (504) housed within a suitable container, or a fluid chamber (404) such as a fluid reservoir with a breather (410), for air volume compensation. The hydraulic cylinder and header may be urged to the extended position, for example by extension springs (308) acting on a piston within the fluid accumulation chamber, or by a pull chain or latch (420) coupled to the cylinder and the upward movement of the deck. A flow control valve (304), e.g., a velocity fuse or solenoid valve, is connected between the cylinder and the fluid accumulation chamber to respond to free fall of the deck. Resetting to normal operation after free fall detection may occur after load removal from the deck and by movement of the cylinder to the opposite direction or by electrical control input to the control valve.

Title: Genetically purified gellan gum
Inventor: CLEARY JOSEPH M
IPC: A23L29/269
Filed: 2005-06-20
Granted: 2018-01-02
Abstract: Mutational inactivation of proteins involved in para-cresol production in certain milk products results in improved taste and odor. The undesirable para-cresol forms over time as a result of enzymes produced by the bacterium that produces gellan gum. Since the gellan is typically used in a relatively unpurified form, the enzymes are added to the milk along with the gellan.  Inactivation of the enzymes is a genetic means of eliminating the enzymes without requiring any additional purification or processing.

Title: Dynamic energy threshold calculation for high impedance fault detection
Inventor: PETERSON JOHN
IPC: G01R31/50
Filed: 2005-10-11
Granted: 2011-12-13
Abstract: A technique for dynamically determining the occurrence of a high impedance fault (HIF) independent of load. An HIF algorithm provides the energy value for a given number of samples of the input signal that is phase (load) currents and/or neutral (residual) current. The input signal energy value is multiplied by a factor that ranges from about 100% to about 300% to calculate a threshold energy value and the result of that calculation is stored in a buffer. A HIF detection signal is generated when the energy value determined for samples of the input signal that are the same in number as the given number of samples and taken after the given number of samples is greater than an energy value derived from a predetermined number of the calculated threshold energy values.
